Looking for reliable bricklayers & landscapers in Galashiels? We cover Galashiels and nearby Melrose, Tweedbank, Selkirk and Stow from our base in Loanhead – the southern edge of our area, with Borders stone, sloping plots and the Tweedbank estates.
Galashiels grew as a mill town in a steep valley, and its streets and gardens climb the hillsides on both sides of the Gala Water. Since the Borders Railway linked Galashiels and Tweedbank back to Edinburgh, more people have moved in, and new homes have gone up at Tweedbank and on the edges of town. Melrose, a short hop away, has some of the Borders' finest stone houses and walled gardens.

What we do in Galashiels
Retaining walls and terraces
Turning steep hillside gardens into usable levels, with footings and drainage built for the job.
Driveways
Sloping drives with strong edging, good grip and channel drains to keep water away from the house.
Garden walls and repairs
Repairs to old boundary walls in Galashiels and Melrose, and new walls for newer homes. Melrose's conservation area has stricter rules on frontages.
03
Gardens in a valley town
Galashiels' steep streets mean many gardens rise or fall sharply from the house. Water runs downhill through them after heavy rain, so drainage behind retaining walls and at the foot of patios and drives isn't optional. Access can also be tricky, with steps up to front doors and narrow paths to the back, so we plan how materials and spoil move in and out before we start.

05
What affects the cost of a Galashiels garden
On hillside plots, the walls and drainage usually cost more than the paving: retained height, footing size and drainage behind the wall drive the price, and taller walls may need an engineer's design. Access matters too, as steep steps and narrow paths slow down moving materials and spoil. On Tweedbank's newer estates, costs follow the usual pattern of size, materials and groundwork. As Galashiels is at the southern edge of our area, we plan jobs to be done in continuous blocks of days.
